Rockford Fosgate Stereo upgrade

[jrs2005]

Anyone installed this 150watt sub and front door speaker upgrade? Does it work with the Bose system?It looks like a good solution if it truly is a plug and play. Just wondering how easy the install was and is it worth the cost. found it on the H2 Accessories chicklet.

Thanks

iirx, this is a direct plug and play setup.

there are some people who do have it installed, and all have mentioned that it does add some bass but each have mentioned that they werent fully satisified with it in some way or another.

im sure you can find there posts if you search for it.

honestly, for the price $500, i could buy high end door speakers and a sub and amp of better quality than that whole package.

$200 to $300 for component door speakers (Focal, MB Q, Boston A, ect..)
$100 for a 10 inch sub.
$70 for a H2 sub box for under the rear seat for a 10 inch sub
$100 for a 4 channel amp

i run a aftermarket deck, but even with a stock deck you can easily tap the speakers for the amp. so gettign it to work with the system is not a issue.


the stock door speakers arent too bad ( unless your are blown or whatever)
if you are just looking to add bass, i would tap the sub thats in the center console to power an amp. from there hook up a 10 inch in a box under the seat.

that basically is what i am running right now, except for the deck. a 10 inch sub adds a decent amount of bass in the cabin, just dont fool yourself in to thinking that you are going to win any bumping contests or compete with someone who has a pure dedicated system.

the deck im running is a Pioneer's AVH-P4000DVD. its a good deck, and overall im fine with it. my biggest complaint is not enough RCA outs on it.

250 on ebay. Picked one up. Truly plug and play on 05's and up. Little tricky on years below. Had to wire mine directly at the bose amp using the sub wires.(which took me forever to find on the net)

Doesn't add super amounts of bass, but I like it. The hidden sub is the best part. takes up no room, completely out of site.
